Recap of 18 June Civic Association Meeting

Approximately twenty people attended the Civic Association meeting on Tuesday evening 18 June at Firehouse 9.

The agenda included:

Christin Jolicouer, Watershed Planner; Greg Emanuel, Director of Arlington DES and other DES staff presented an update on the 16th St South ‘Green Streets’ project. We also heard from residents on 16th St South affected by the project.

Afterwards, Civic Association attendees discussed the presentations and expressed numerous concerns with the project.  A consensus emerged to have the Civic Association formally communicate those concerns to the County Board and DES staff.  That letter is available here.

Update:  Arlington County has agreed to delink the ‘Green Streets’ project from the previously approved traffic-calming project on 16th St South and revisit the ‘Green Streets’ project itself.  See the full response in this post.

John Snyder, Immediate Past-President of DPCA, updated us on plans for the 31st Douglas Fourth of July Park Parade and Picnic.

Adam Henderson was elected President of the Civic Association.

The next Civic Association meeting is scheduled for Tuesday evening, 17 September 2013 at 7.30p.
